Our experience was substantially diminished due to the power outage that occurred during the majority of our stay due to the severe storms. I know it was not the fault of the hotel but I would have expected an offer to discount our stay due to the inconvenience. Also the TV never worked and I was put on hold for a long time and finally hung up without resolution. On a positive note, Michael the person who greeted us on arrival, made our dinner reservations and drove us and returned us to the hotel is a La Playa treasure!!!

Great place
We paid top price for this hotel, over $900 dollars per night, then at checkout they hit us with another $60 per night for so called amenities for breakfast, and parking when it street parking. Unbelievable! We have stayed here numerous times and never charged an additional $60 per night. We will never stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay at La Playa and will be back for sure! Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the ocean was dreamy. The extra amenities and welcoming staff take this already beautiful property to the next level. This trip was in celebration of our 10 yr anniversary and we had a chilled bottle of champagne and a card waiting in our room upon our arrival. It's small touches like this that make a lasting impression! Cant wait to come back
